Queenslanders are waiting an average of more than eighteen minutes for ambulance services, two minutes higher than targets set by the Government in 2014.
Minister for Health Yvette D’Ath says the state has seen a 24% increase in ambulance call-outs since 2014, with rapid population growth putting pressure on health services.
"Against this increasing demand, QAS Code 1 response times are better than comparable jurisdictions like New South Wales and Victoria," said Ms D'Ath.
